Intro:
[D] [G] [D] [G]
Verse
On my[D] own, pr[Em7]etending he's bes[D]ide me, [D/C#]
All [Bm7]alone, I [E7]walk with him till [A]morning, [A/G#]
Wit[G]hout him, I [F#7]feel his arms a[Bm7]round me,
And [Em7]when I lose my way I close my [G]eyes and he has [A]found me.
In the r[D]ain, the [Em7]pavement shines like [D]silver, [D/C#]
All the l[Bm7]ights are [E7]misty in the rive[A]r, [A/G#]
In [G]the darkness, the [F#7]trees are full of s[Bm7]tarlight,
And [Em7]all I see is him and me for[G]ever and for[A]ever.
Pre-Chorus
And I [Bb]know it's o[Cm7]nly in my m[Bb]ind, [Bb/A]
That I'm t[Gm]alking to mys[Gm7]elf and not t[Eb]o him,
And al[Em]though I know that he is [B]blind, [B7]
Still I [Am7]say there's a [C]way for us.
Chorus
I [F]love him, but [Gm]when the night is [F]over, [F/E]
He is [Dm]gone, the [G]river's just a r[C]iver, [C/B]
Wi[Bb]thout him the [A7]world around me [Dm]changes,
The [Gm]trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of [C]strangers.
I [F]love him, but [Gm]every day I'm learn[F]ing, [F/E]
All my[Dm] life I've [G]only been prete[C]nding, [C/B]
Wi[Bb]thout me his w[A7]orld will go on [Dm]turning,
A wo[Gm]rld that's full of happiness that I have never known. [C]
Outro
[F]I love him, [F7]I love [Bb]him, I love him,
But [Bbm]only on my o[F]wn.
